Maple Squash

By Jenni Melnyk December 21, 2015

It’s Fall. Squash of all kinds can be found in abundance (at least here on the prairies). And you can’t go wrong with serving up a dish. This one is especially tender with just the right amount of sweetness too.

Ingredients

butternut squash - 4 lbs, cut into thick wedges, seeds removed
maple syrup - 1/3 cp
water - 1/3 cp
red pepper flakes - ½ tsp
sea salt & cracked black pepper

Instructions

Slice 4 pounds butternut squash into thick wedges and remove the seeds.
Place cut-side up in a baking dish. Combine maple syrup, water, red pepper flakes and a very small amount of salt and pepper into a bowl; pour over the squash
Bake 20 minutes at 350, then flip the squash and bake until caramelized and tender, 25 more minutes
